Description

Medication management device {MANAGING APPARATUS FOR TAKING MEDICINE}

The present invention relates to a medication management device.

In general, oral medicines are prescribed and dispensed by doctors and provided to patients for the purpose of treating or preventing disease. When taken by the user, these medicines are stored in the human body due to each ingredient the medicine contains or the effect it has on the body. Since the process and time of decomposition and absorption are different for each drug, the time for taking it is determined during the prescription process.

In addition, in the case of certain drugs, if the dosage time or dosage cycle is not accurately observed, there is a risk of adverse effects on the user, so it is very important to follow the dosage rules. In particular, for patients who must take medication for a long period of time, it is most important to take the prescribed medication on time and in the correct dosage according to the prescription.

However, there are quite a few cases where patients forget when to take the medicine or the fact that they need to take it, or do not remember that they took it even after taking it, causing discomfort or overdosing by taking multiple doses. In the case of elderly people, patients with cognitive impairment, and even the general public, after taking medicine, they forget what medicine they took and take the medicine again, so even in the case of medicine that must be taken three times a day, they take it more than three times. Accordingly, there is a problem that excessive drug ingredients remain, which may cause other diseases.

In addition, like people with chronic diseases, there are cases where people deliberately avoid taking medications due to fear of side effects from long-term medication use. Such irregular medication use can reduce the patient's compliance with medication, prolong the treatment period for the disease, and reduce the effectiveness of treatment or worsen the disease, resulting in additional medical expenses due to additional visits to medical institutions. This can cause various problems, such as spending money.

For example, in order to set a sound alarm three times a day (morning, lunch, and evening), the second alarm setting switch 382, the third alarm setting switch 383, and the fourth alarm setting switch 384 are turned on. You can set it. Accordingly, the alarm indication and the alarm time are displayed in the second alarm setting display unit 2312, the third alarm setting display unit 2313, and the fourth alarm setting display unit 2314, and the remaining first alarm setting display unit 2311 and the fourth alarm setting display unit 2314 are displayed. 5 The alarm setting display unit 2315 may be displayed as blank. Afterwards, a sound alarm may be generated at a set time in each of the second alarm setting display unit 2312, the third alarm setting display unit 2313, and the fourth alarm setting display unit 2314.

The alarm unit 39 may include an alarm method setting unit 391, an alarm control unit 392, a speaker unit 393, and an alarm stop button 394.

The mode (method) of the sound alarm can be set through the alarm method setting unit 391. Specifically, a sound alarm can be configured in multiple modes. As an example, the sound alarm method may include mode 1, mode 2, and mode 3, and one mode status among these may be displayed on the alarm mode display unit 233.

In mode 1, the user can arbitrarily set the sound alarm time. Specifically, the sound alarm time for each of the plurality of alarm setting display units 2311, 2312, 2313, 2314, and 2315 can be set. At this time, the alarm time for each of the plurality of alarm setting display units (2311, 2312, 2313, 2314, and 2315) can be set regardless of each medication time period set in the medication setting unit (21). For example, when the first time zone set in the first medication setting unit 211 is am05 to am08, the alarm time of the first alarm setting display unit 2311 may be a time belonging to am05 to am08, or may be a time belonging to am05 to am08. It may be a time that does not belong.

In mode 2, the sound alarm is turned off, and the lights of the first LED unit 171, the first image display unit 2321, and the untaken medication notification unit 26 are turned on according to the medication time period set through the switch unit 15. Alarms can be provided through .

At this time, the sound alarm time displayed on each alarm setting display unit 231 may be a time belonging to the time zone set in each switch unit 15.

For example, in the case of mode 3, a sound alarm can be generated simultaneously with a light alarm from one or more of the LED unit 17, the image display unit 232, and the unfilled medication notification unit 26. Alternatively, a light alarm and an intersection sound alarm may be generated from one or more of the LED unit 17, the image display unit 232, and the unfilled medication notification unit 26.

That is, during the morning wake-up time, you can set a sound alarm on the alarm setting display unit 231 to take your medicine upon waking up, and at later times, you can take your medicine using the light notification function. Therefore, when you wake up in the morning with an alarm and do not want to be disturbed while working, such as working from home, you can use a light alarm to remind you to take your medication. Alternatively, when a mother raising a baby needs to take medication, it can be used to prevent the baby from waking up while napping.

Specific operating methods for each mode will be described later.

The alarm control unit 392 can control the alarm. As an example, the alarm control unit 392 can be adjusted in 5 levels.

In the off stage, all alarms are turned off and the above-mentioned lights stop blinking.

At level 0, sound alarms are turned off and all alarms consist of flashing lights.

In stage 1, a sound alarm of a preset decibel is generated.

In the second stage, a sound alarm of a preset decibel louder than that in the first stage is generated.

In step 3, a sound alarm of a preset decibel louder than that in step 2 is generated.

In this way, the user can set the alarm method by adjusting the off, 0, 1, 2, and 3 levels.

The speaker unit 393 is a speaker that can generate a sound alarm.

The alarm stop button 394 is a button that turns off the generated sound alarm. That is, after a sound alarm occurs according to a preset state, if the alarm stop button 394 is pressed, the sound alarm can be ended.

At this time, after the sound alarm occurs, the sound alarm is stopped by pressing the alarm stop button 394, and if no medication confirmation is received from the medication confirmation unit 25, the sound alarm is stopped by pressing the alarm stop button 394. The sound alarm may be generated again after a preset time (for example, 10 minutes) from the point of interruption.

Below, the alarm method when each mode of the alarm method setting unit 391 is set will be described.

First, when mode 1 is selected in the alarm method setting unit 391, the sound alarm time is set in each of the plurality of alarm setting display units 231, and the alarm setting switch 38 is turned on. ) A sound alarm occurs at the alarm time corresponding to ). For example, when the first alarm setting switch 381 is on, the second alarm setting switch 382 is off, and the third alarm setting switch 383 is on, the current time is the first alarm When the alarm time set and displayed on the settings display unit 2311 arrives, a sound alarm is generated.

After the sound alarm is stopped by pressing the alarm stop button 394, if the medication confirmation unit 25 is pressed for more than 4 seconds within a preset time, it is confirmed that medication has been taken, the sound alarm is no longer generated, and the first medication is taken. The pill image in the availability display unit 271 disappears.

At the same time as the pill image in the first medication status display unit 271 disappears, the medication dosage rate is calculated and reflected in the first time zone display unit 2911 and the overall display unit 292 of the medication ratio display unit 29.

If the medication confirmation unit 25 is not pressed for more than 4 seconds within a preset time (e.g., 10 minutes) after the alarm stop button 394 is pressed and the sound alarm is stopped, the sound alarm stops. The sound alarm sounds again after a preset time (for example, 10 minutes). At this time, the re-generated sound alarm occurs repeatedly a preset number of times or time (for example, 3 times or 3 seconds).

If medication is not confirmed through the medication confirmation unit 25 even after the re-generated sound alarm repeatedly occurs a preset number of times or for a time (e.g., 3 times or 3 seconds), it is determined that the medication has not been taken, and the first The pill image in the medication status display unit 271 is maintained, and at the same time, the medication dosage rate is calculated and reflected in the first time zone display unit 2911 and the overall display unit 292 of the medication ratio display unit 29.

Afterwards, a sound alarm occurs when the next alarm time reaches the set time. For example, after medication is completed at the alarm time corresponding to the first alarm setting display unit 231, a sound alarm is generated when the alarm time corresponding to the third alarm setting switch 383 arrives.

When mode 2 is selected in the alarm method setting unit 391, the lights of the LED unit 17 and the image display unit 232 blink according to the medication time period when the setting switch unit 15 is in the on state, and a light alarm is generated. At this time, the sound alarm time is not displayed on the alarm setting display unit 231, and the sound alarm is not generated.

For example, when the first setting switch unit 151 is in the on state, the second setting switch unit 152 is in the off state, and the third setting switch unit 153 is in the on state, the current time is set to the on state. When the first time zone set in the first setting switch unit 151 is reached, the lights of the first LED unit 171 and the first image display unit 2321 may blink. Afterwards, if the medication confirmation unit 25 is not pressed for more than 4 seconds during the first time period, the lights of the first LED unit 171 and the first image display unit 2321 may continue to blink.

If the medication confirmation unit 25 is pressed for more than 4 seconds within the first time period, the pill image in the first medication status display unit 271 disappears. At the same time as the pill image in the first medication status display unit 271 disappears, the medication dosage rate is calculated and reflected in the first time zone display unit 2911 and the overall display unit 292 of the medication ratio display unit 29.

If the medication confirmation unit 25 is not pressed for more than 4 seconds within the first time period and the first time period ends, the first LED unit 171, the first image display unit 2321, and the untaken medication notification unit 26 The light alarm ends, it is determined that the medicine has not been taken, and the pill image of the first medication status display unit 271 is maintained, and at the same time, the first time display unit 2911 and the overall display unit 292 of the medication taking rate display unit 29 are displayed. The medication adherence rate is calculated and reflected.

When mode 3 is selected in the alarm method setting unit 391, the sound alarm time corresponding to the alarm setting display unit 231 corresponding to the alarm setting switch 38 that is turned on among the plurality of alarm setting switches 38 is displayed. And, among the plurality of switch units 15, an image is displayed on the image display unit 232 corresponding to the switch unit 15 that is in the on state.

For example, when the first alarm setting switch 381 is on, the second alarm setting switch 382 is off, and the third alarm setting switch 383 is on, the first alarm setting display unit ( 2311) and the third alarm setting display unit 2313 display an alarm image and an alarm time. Likewise, when the first switch unit 151 is in the on state, the second switch unit 152 is in the off state, and the third switch unit 153 is in the on state, the first image display unit 2321 and the third image The corresponding image is displayed on the display unit 2323.

Afterwards, when the first time zone set in the first switch unit 151 is reached, the lights of the first LED unit 171 and the first image display unit 2321 may blink. At this time, if the medication confirmation unit 25 is pressed for more than 4 seconds within the first time zone and before the sound alarm time set in the first alarm setting switch 381, it is confirmed that the medication has been taken, and the first medication status display unit 271 The pill image disappears, and the sound alarm does not occur for the time set in the first alarm setting switch 381. At this time, the pill image in the first medication status display unit 271 disappears, and at the same time, the medication medication ratio is calculated and reflected in the first time zone display unit 2911 and the overall display unit 292 of the medication ratio display unit 29.

If the medication confirmation unit 25 is not pressed by the time set in the first alarm setting switch 381, a sound alarm is generated at the time set in the first alarm setting switch 381. If a sound alarm occurs at the time set in the first alarm setting switch 381, the sound alarm can be stopped through the alarm stop button 394.

After the alarm stop button 394 is pressed and the sound alarm is stopped, if the medication confirmation unit 25 is pressed for more than 4 seconds within a preset time, it is confirmed that medication has been taken, the sound alarm is no longer generated, and the first medication is taken. The pill image in the availability display unit 271 disappears, and the medication taking rate is calculated and reflected in the first time zone display unit 2911 and the overall display unit 292 of the medication taking rate display unit 29.

If the medication confirmation unit 25 is not pressed for more than 4 seconds within a preset time (for example, 10 minutes) after the alarm stop button 394 is pressed and the sound alarm is stopped, the sound alarm stops. The sound alarm sounds again after a preset time (for example, 10 minutes). At this time, the re-generated sound alarm occurs repeatedly a preset number of times or time (for example, 3 times or 3 seconds).

If medication is not confirmed through the medication confirmation unit 25 even after the re-generated sound alarm repeatedly occurs a preset number of times or for a time (e.g., 3 times or 3 seconds), it is determined that the medication has not been taken, and the first The pill image in the medication status display unit 271 is maintained, and at the same time, the medication dosage rate is calculated and reflected in the first time zone display unit 2911 and the overall display unit 292 of the medication ratio display unit 29.

Afterwards, a sound alarm occurs when the next alarm time reaches the set time. For example, after medication is completed at the alarm time corresponding to the first alarm setting display unit 231, a sound alarm is generated when the alarm time corresponding to the third alarm setting switch 383 arrives.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing that a medication inducing unit 40 is further installed in the main body 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 shows the medication inducing unit 40 according to FIG. 10 protruding from the elevating bar 41. This diagram shows that additional bars 43 are installed.

First, referring to Figure 10, the medication induction unit 40 may include an elevating/lowering bar 41 and a lighting unit 42. The raising and lowering bar 41 is installed on the upper side 12 (i.e., upper surface) of the main body 10 and can be raised and lowered. That is, the lifting bar 41 may be introduced into the main body 10 or pulled out from the outside of the main body 10. Specifically, the elevating/lowering bar 41 may be raised outward from the main body 10 when a medication confirmation is not received from the medication confirmation unit 25 during the time period when the medication notification is set to on.

The lifting bar 41 is formed at a predetermined height, and includes a first lifting part 411, a second lifting part 412, a third lifting part 413, a fourth lifting part 414, and a fifth lifting part ( 415) may be included.

If the medication confirmation unit 25 does not receive a medication confirmation input during the time slot in which the medication notification is set to on, and the time range passes, it is determined that the medication has not been taken during the time slot, and the unit can ascend by one lift unit. In other words, each time the condition of not taking medication is confirmed, it can be raised by one elevator compartment. For example, in the first time zone, medication confirmation is received from the medication confirmation unit 25, and in the second time zone, medication confirmation is not received from the medication confirmation unit 25. When the third time zone arrives, the first lifting unit 411 The raising and lowering bar 41 may protrude to the upper side of the main body 10 as much as ).

Thereafter, if the drug is not taken in the third time zone and the fourth time zone arrives, the elevating and lowering bar 41 may protrude further to the upper side of the main body 10 up to the second elevating part 412.

The rise of the lifting bar 41 is reset on a daily basis, and after 12 midnight, the lifting bar 41 can be retracted into the main body 10.

In this way, through the rising height of the elevating bar 41, the number of untaken medications per day can be checked, and as the elevating bar 41 is raised, obstacles in the user's field of view increase, thereby encouraging medication taking. .

In addition, a lighting unit 42 is installed in each of the first lifting unit 411, the second lifting unit 412, the third lifting unit 413, the fourth lifting unit 414, and the fifth lifting unit 415. , lights of a specific color are emitted whenever each elevating part protrudes, thereby interfering with the user's field of view further, thereby reminding the user of the need to take medication, thereby increasing the medication taking rate.

Referring to FIG. 11, the medication induction unit 40 may further include a protruding bar 43.

When the total medication rate is below a preset value, the protruding bar 43 moves forward with the first lifting bar protruding from the main body 10 in each medication time period when the medication notification is set to on. It can be made to protrude. For example, when the total medication taking rate is 70% or less, the first protruding bar 43 protrudes, and when the total medication taking rate is 60% or less, the first protruding bar 43 and the second protruding bar 43 protrudes, and when the total medication taking rate is 55% or less, the first protruding bar 43, the second protruding bar 43, and the third protruding bar 43 protrude, and when the total medication taking rate is 50% or less. , the first protruding bar 43, the second protruding bar 43, the third protruding bar 43, and the fourth protruding bar 43 can be made to protrude. That is, as the medication taking rate decreases, the forward protruding length of the protruding bar 43 may increase.

When medication is confirmed by the medication confirmation unit 25 in each time slot, the protruding bar 43 may be inserted back into the first lifting bar.

In this way, as the protruding bar 43 protrudes forward, it forms an obstacle in the user's field of view and activity radius, thereby reminding the user to take medication and preventing the entry of the protruding bar 43 and the elevating bar 41, which serve as obstacles. It may encourage you to take medication for the sake of it.
